Chapter 226: Mo Cheng, a very narrow-minded person
When the last group of seriously injured people recovered under the shining of holy light, when they saw their loved ones come back to life after injuries that could have almost declared their death, they immediately rushed through the obstruction of the law enforcement members and hugged their parents, lovers, or children tightly.
Mo Cheng, who had poured himself a bottle of mental potion, watched from the side. Although he was not able to clearly understand the meaning of what he was doing, seeing these people still crying with joy while holding living bodies was better than just crying while holding corpses.
It was true that stepping forward to treat the seriously injured caused trouble for Hodge, but looking at the scene before him, it was also an extra reward.
"Thank you for your hard work. This is the last batch."
Margaret looked at the young man who claimed to be a glorious priest. For the first time, she discovered that this friend who she could talk to to some extent actually had many secrets.
When Mo Cheng was fighting Ichikiel again, he did not hide well enough. The intensity of the battle at that time was not enough to make him do things unrelated to the battle.
So at that time, Margaret was able to see a dragon descendant with a blood concentration high enough to transform into a dragon man holding Ichikiel and rushing up to the thunderclouds in the sky. She saw the almost tragic way of fighting, and even more so, when he fell from the sky, the dragon man turned back into Mo Cheng.
The pure holy light will inevitably lead to the crazy dragon blood, and even the elemental ball that looks extremely familiar, which Margaret has only seen on [Karl].
These completely opposite and even conflicting things can actually be fully contained in one person.
Although she is not a legal professional, Margaret's vision is definitely not narrow. She is very clear about the consequences of forcing things from different systems together.
The simplest one is undoubtedly [Explosion].
Also, since Mishas came back, when asked about her previous experiences, she only said that because of the turbulence in space, she was teleported to a deserted island, and fortunately Mo Cheng was there to protect her.
This was not a very strange thing, but when Mishas later issued a gag order to anyone who had seen Mo Cheng's dragon form, Margaret had to think about what Mishas had experienced in the past few days.
Margaret had many questions she wanted to ask Mo Cheng, about his bloodline, what happened in those few days with Mishasi, and even about the conversation as [Karl] when they first met.
[Mo Cheng, why do you hide yourself in the darkness? If you hear my request, walk under the sun and let me know everything about you.]
Margaret suddenly recalled a sentence from a novel. She was stunned for a moment, then shook her head as if to get rid of it.
Returning from the fragments of past history, Mo Cheng handed the novel written by Wendisa to Margaret. It was a story about a guy who had a falling out with his family and ran away from home. His main profession was a novelist and his secondary profession was an adventurer. The story was written with Mo Cheng and Margaret as the protagonists.
I don't know whether it was out of some kind of bad taste or a bad joke on the younger generation.
In short, every time Margaret opened Wendissa's novel, her thoughts were always between "read" or "burn".
Her thoughts were interrupted by the novel that suddenly popped up. The words Margaret wanted to ask changed drastically when they came to her lips. "Are you okay? Do you want to find a place to rest?"
Using holy light at a high frequency, according to Margaret's understanding of Mo Cheng, he has probably used up all his mental power, and only a little bit is left before his mental power is completely exhausted.
Although there are mental potions as a supplement, potions are not a panacea, and taking too much in the same period of time will not only reduce the effect, but also accumulate toxicity in the potion due to excessive intake, thus producing many negative effects.
"No, it's much easier to treat them than to fight Ichikiel. But let's go back to Albert House first. If we stay here any longer, we won't be able to leave."
Looking at those people who wanted to come forward to express their gratitude, Mo Cheng simply chose to leave. His social skills were not yet at the level to cope with such occasions.
Mo Cheng not only relied on the spiritual potion to replenish his energy, he had already consumed a lot of magic mangoes in the system store. There were restrictions on the use of spiritual potions, but there were no restrictions on the use of magic mangoes and purification potions.
But after returning to Albert's House, Mo Cheng heard a new question.
"There's not enough food in the sinking area and the civilian area?"
As soon as I entered the door, I heard Mishas's surprised voice. Most of Fairhaven's daily food is provided by the city's granary and various markets, and a small part is supplied by surrounding villages and towns.
"Because of the [collapse], everyone is rushing to buy food. With physical isolation, the sinking area and the civilian area simply don't have enough food to replenish. In addition, there is very little food circulating on the market. Someone has been buying food for the past three months."
Mo Cheng narrowed his eyes at Misha's explanation. He had already heard some clues.
It is basically impossible to make any profit by purchasing grain in Fairhaven. In order to prevent the capital from appearing "indecent" among other cities, the Andair government will replenish grain in a timely manner to balance the price of grain.
Having a lot of grain in hand, besides the fact that it will become worthless over time, any businessman with a little bit of common sense knows that there is no profit to be made from it.
unless……
Someone was able to predict the disaster in Fairhaven in advance, intending to make a fortune from it and squeeze every last bit of money out of the people.
As for why those people knew...
Mo Cheng thought of the large Inquisition team led by Ichikiel that he had faced before.
With a team of that size, no matter how skilled the Inquisition was at disguise, it would be impossible for them to reach Fairhaven without being noticed by everyone.
Unless there is someone acting as an insider, and this person must be very powerful.
Combining these conditions with the current political environment of the Principality of Aundair, Mo Cheng couldn't think of any candidate other than the [nobles].
It is unclear which noble it is, but what is certain is that it is definitely a powerful noble.
"Don't even think about buying grain. Under the current circumstances, no one will sell it, and even if they do, the price will definitely be sky-high."
Mo Cheng's words directly interrupted the discussion about how to purchase food in the room, "It's easy to get food, just let Ralph cooperate."
Under Ralph's puzzled but sure look that Mo Cheng had nothing good to say, Mo Cheng slowly expressed his thoughts, "Let Ralph help to create evidence of Viscount Toledo's family's treason and then I will go and kill them all. This way, I will definitely be able to loot enough food from the Toledo family."
The audience's faces became increasingly darker, and Ralph even wanted to rush up and punch him. Such words could be said in private, but must never be said in front of a crowd.
Now not only was it said out loud, but it was said in front of the nobles and the princess, and it even involved him.
Ralph's only thought now was to beat Mo Cheng up severely. This guy in front of him was really good at dragging people into trouble.
